Backpressure pool

Description

Backpressure pool.

  • 4 threads concurrently pool.get and pool.put, 8 iterations each.
  • on_put caps the pool at 2 items, destroys anything past the cap.
  • After all threads join, empty the pool and count what remains.
  • Verify the remaining count never exceeds the cap.

Diagram

 CappedPool (cap=2)
      │ pool.get (available_or_new) — 4 threads concurrently
 worker thread (processes)
      │ pool.put (defer) — on_put destroys excess above cap
 CappedPool (≤ cap items retained)
